The Real Tuesday Weld / Recordings

From those early massive recording devices and wax cylinders through shellac, vinyl, cd, mp3, it seems to becoming lighter and lighter. Does Nick Drakes' "Pink Moon' on vinyl mean the same as a folder of mp3s on my iPod? Does digital distribution undermine art? Is illegal downloading bad? No idea but I am glad we got into this whilst the physical artefact was still the thing - just.

I had a meeting with a musician who consults on social media once (it wasn't my idea). I should have know something wasn't right when he told me he played five string fretless bass but I kept at it for as long as I could. As I was leaving he tried to give me a usb stick with 16 hours of his music on it. 16 hours! It barely weighed a thing but it made my heart sink: but it was only the thought of it that was heavy.

Here is our stuff - or here it will be when it's all uploaded. We like digital too - but just not as the only thing so, with one or two exceptions, there is always a physical version - and often a beautiful physical version. Several things are now deleted or sold out limited editions.
